Global: HoneyBook Unveils AI-Powered Business Management Tools to Empower SMBs

HoneyBook, a leading business platform for service-based entrepreneurs, has introduced AI-driven business management tools designed to streamline operations and enhance productivity for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

AI-Driven Automation for Entrepreneurs

While AI solutions have largely been tailored for large enterprises or consumers, independent entrepreneurs have been left navigating fragmented tools that demand constant manual coordination. HoneyBook aims to change this by seamlessly embedding AI into business workflows, allowing for:

• Automated lead generation – AI suggests potential leads and helps create content for managing them.
• Smart project management – AI streamlines project workflows and automates financial tracking post-booking.
• Data-driven decision-making – Leveraging a decade’s worth of independent business data, the platform offers personalized insights and automation without requiring users to train the AI.

“As a third-generation entrepreneur, I’ve seen firsthand how technology can level the playing field for small businesses,” said Oz Alon, CEO and co-founder of HoneyBook. “That’s why we’re going all in on AI—not just to follow industry trends, but to truly rethink how independent businesses operate. Entrepreneurs need AI that understands how they work, anticipates their needs, and helps them grow.”

Supporting SMBs Amid Economic Uncertainty

The launch of HoneyBook’s AI tools comes at a time when SMBs, particularly those in rural areas, face growing financial challenges. A recent report found that 30% of rural SMBs reported declining revenues, compared to just 15% of urban businesses.

Further research indicates that many SMBs rely on immediate sales or existing cash for survival, with business credit cards serving as the most common financing option for those with access. However, businesses lacking financing options face greater uncertainty and are 75% more likely to have no strategy for handling unexpected costs, such as tariff implementations.

A New Era of AI for Independent Businesses

By embedding AI directly into lead generation, project management, and financial tracking, HoneyBook is positioning itself as a game-changer for SMBs. Its intelligent automation and predictive analytics could significantly enhance operational efficiency, helping small businesses thrive in an increasingly digital economy.
